Wow really nice! Im always jealous of people who can work with wood. Im not a good carpenter. Or even a carpenter at all.
I can do some electrical and plumbing but Iām more like measure four times cut once and its messed up.

Looking forward to the final project.
Well I was rushing and did something stupid.
I was testing out components in my Dreamcast (one of three) and started a small electrical fire. Burned a working PSU and fried some other chips. Not good.
No safety issues as a result but I now have some ruined stuff and feel stupid about it.

Oh yeah for sure! Now I know thereās probaby resistors inline that I didnāt hook up causing an amp surge.
The flame looked pretty cool though lol.

Boom shackalacka.
A little annoyed i got grout on the back corner, couldnt get it off fully. And my girl is going to make a full sized cushion for it.
I clear coated the walnut interior, and did an all natural restorative on the exterior to bring it back some.
Cabinet -15 dollars
Walnut panels -free from work
Tile - $3.50 at local thrift store.
25 on extra materials.
Total cost 45 bucks.

Looks awesome!
Does anyone have any experience with converting a garage, specifically a dethatched one, into a storage space? My collection has grown to the point where itās too big for our small house, so Iām thinking of getting some decent shelving and putting it into the garage. Iād love a proper geek room, but itās waaay beyond me to convert it (and, as itās one of a block of four garages I donāt think we can). Everything is in plastic tubs so they should be okay. The biggest concern is the comics, which are bagged, boarded and boxed, but Iām not sure if thatāll be enough. It gets very cold in there at times, although damp isnāt much of a problem.
Back in Australia Iāve had my collection live for years in my parents shed and itās been totally fine with the heat, but this cold thing is a new one on me.

With cold comes the potential for condensation with temperature shifts, so Iād watch out for that one given the nature of your collection.

Yeah, thatās the main concern. Not really sure how to get around it, if thatās at all possible. May have to find another solution.
